Preach, Pray or Die

The work of ministry can be different for every person you meet, but how often do you get a chance to sit down and talk with a minister in-depth? Co-hosts Amy Lippoldt and Ben Hanne sit down with United Methodist persons in ministry in the Great Plains to hear their stories, discover their passions and celebrate our similarities and differences.

Recorded live at Mead's Corner in Wichita, Kansas on June 10th our first live show features interviews with Jim Reed, Rebecca Hjelle and Mary Lou Reece! We were also proud to have some amazing and talented musicians play for us, our great thanks to Brianna Brown, Josh Melcher and Jennifer Pettersen!

Thanks to all those who came out and laughed and cheered and all the folks who checked out the live video stream. We love doing this work and it was great to bring it to a live format!

Episode 14 is our conversation with Kalaba Chali who serves as the Mercy and Justice Coordinator for the Great Plains Annual Conference. He comes to the great plains by way of Missouri, Texas, Florida, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo and we’re honored to hear his story and his wisdom. We discuss his path as well as the conference’s work in Haiti and we muse together on the challenges of justice in a complex and hurting world.
